The Pyewipe

All very average. Rather frustratingly, we stayed at the Pyewipe and returned from a night out in Lincoln hoping to have some drinks in the pub. Unfortunately, and rather unbelievably, the pub closes at 9 o’clock. How a pub with a large number of rooms can survive on that basis is beyond me! We then spent the night listening to the television of the room next door blaring through the paper thin walls. Ironically, if we had been able to have a drink it might have made the racket from the room next door a bit more palatable! Ooooohhhhhh, also, if you’re the type of person who likes a lie in then avoid this place. Breakfast finishes at 9; and not a minute later! Never again!

Went for some drinks. Francesca probably spelt it wrong, was amazing very helpful lovely sitting bye the river lovely evening! Haven’t been here in a long time. My friends had some deserts cheese and biscuits and cheesecake! Which tasted lovely

I stayed overnight en route from North to South for business. I was told that there was no available wi-fi for customers in the main building (restaurant/pub) which I thought a little odd but returned to my room in the evening to work - no wi-fi. Rang reception, vague chat about having a few probs "today", implying a new problem, BT said they'd try and come tomorrow I'll come over and re-set the router to see if that makes a difference. No further feedback. No wi-fi. Asked how my stay was in the morning, I mentioned the wi-fi to another member of staff who said that there had been "a few" problems for some time. It was completely impossible for me to work and I might have well have just continued with my drive. Not therefore a good place to stay for business and no real interest in assisting. The food was good tho' had to go up to the bar to order when 3 staff were standing there "available" and had not made this clear. Overall disappointing.

Beds are so comfortable, rooms beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Shower is powerful. Great facilities included with room, ironing board, iron, plenty of plug sockets. Food in restaurant was simply stunning, evening meal had a great selection of food to choose from and a lovely Sauvignon Blanc. Breakfast was delicious, freshly made scrambled eggs and delicious bacon. I will definitely stay here again when in the area, great value for money too.

Served cold, and some frozen butterfly prawns for starter! Served burnt, crispy overcooked rump steak for mains. Nice front of house staff. Poor service from the kitchen, obviously no one checking the dishes coming out, or their standard, Terrible !

Food amazing ! The coleslaw is delicious I could have ate a massive plateful on it's own mmm...staff welcoming ! Will definitely be visiting on a regular basis. Only downside that it was a little chilly in bar area. Overall a really lovely experience

My family and I decided to go out for our Christmas meal last year (2023) and we all agreed on going to the Pyewipe as we all liked the sound of the menu. So, I made the booking and paid £10 each for the deposit (there was 4 of us). Unfortunately, 1 family member couldn't make it, so I rang up and informed them. I was told the extra £10 paid would just come off the bill on the day. Then the day came and I was absolutely shocked at the service we received. Our table was booked for 1200hrs , and by 1240hrs, we were on our third course. As soon as we'd finished our course, the plates were collected and the next course was in front of us. We had one drink throughout the meal as we were not asked if we wanted another. The staff were hovering over us, watching and waiting for us to finish. Then, after we had finished, I asked for the bill. When it came, it only had £30 taken off (even though I had paid £40). I raised this with the waitress, who said they would send the manager over. I then raised this with him, who informed me that they don't normally take deposits off the bill if you don't show, but as I was told on the phone they would, he would honour this. He returned with the new bill, placed it on the table, and went to get the card machine. As he left, he made a sarcastic comment of 'don't worry, I'll pay the difference'. I was a bit confused with this as I'd already paid the £10 he was taking off? My partner queried this with him, only to then receive more rude and sarcastic comments about how he has happy to make the payment. He also told us that as we amended the booking from 4 people to 3 , they've lost out on that seat and extra money? Given the cost of £76 per person, I'm absolutely appalled at the service we received.

We stayed in room 5 in the lodge. Have to say the mattress & bedding needs re- newing. Not a comfy night for sleeping. We have stayed at the Pyewipe quite a number of times of the last few years but this was not up to the standard we have come to expect previously. Everything else as good as usual. Food, staff, friendliness etc. Many thanks. Ian Smith.

The lovely walk along the canal turn into a wade through floods, but this can’t be blamed on the Inn which is right next to the canal amidst fields. We stayed midweek and ate in. Monday & Tuesday meals were distinctly average but the young lady serving in the restaurant was very attentive and friendly. Wednesday, the restaurant was closed so ate in the bar. Food was much better but the service was hopeless. Needed a big sign saying “Order at the bar - otherwise you will be ignored”. Mind you, we could haves saved money by not telling them what had been missed off the bill. Our room at The Lodge was warm and comfortable but room cleaning needed improvement.
